Chapter 49 - JUSTICE OR DOMINANCE — ACT 2 : MANEUVERING

The same day as the previous chapter at the Abandoned Factory in Kanagawa...

Don Romano, will probably start to move soon. Granger said coldly We should be ready at any moment to engage against him if he ever tried to get in our way again. Granger said authoritatively.

What do you think he'll do first? Spinner asks curiously.

What else? They'll probably start from locating the Arata and Shinji which is the Harmony Duo...The main reason that they've came here for. Granger said coldly, adjusting her shades.

I wonder how they'll operate to find them like how we found them.Tatsuhiro said sarcastically.

They're definitely going to start something unpleasant to find them, I know how Romano operates. I know hos schemes pretty well enough. Granger said coldly.

What do you think he'll do then? Tatsuhiro asks curiously.

I don't know for sure but we'll definitely see signs if Romano starts to pull something off. Granger said coldly, adjusting her shades.

How about us what exactly should we do? Commence the plan for Arata and Shinji or Start with eliminating Don Romano and his Mafia Family? Spinner asks warily.

Like I've said, I am not going to decide... whoever tries to pull something off first, we'll be the first one that we'll engage with. Granger said authoritatively, adjusting her shades.

The next day, at Sakurazaka Highschool Schoolgate...

Let's hurry, before we got late for good. Arata said coldly, running past the schoolgate.

Hey, wait! Damn, he's sure full of energy today. Shinji said sarcastically, following behind Arata.

Outside the classroom...

Hurry up and stop blabbering already. Arata said clearly frustrated.

Alright, no need to be so bossy! Shinji said feigning annoyance.

Arata opens the door and they immediately entered the room.

Whew! Just in time! Shinji said enthusiastically.

Shinji, go and fetch Kaori over here. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.

Got it! Shinji said enthusiastically, letting out a sigh of defeat.

Shinji approaches Kaori.

Kaori! Arata is asking for you. Shinji said enthusiastically.

Alright, let's go then! Kaori said cheerfully, clearing her throat Are we going to commence the fifth bombing plan today?Kaori whispered to Shinji calmly.

Today is probably the day, I guess...Shinji whispered hesitantly.

Shinji came back to Arata with Kaori.

You asked for me, Arata? Is something the matter? Kaori said curiously.

We're going to commence the third bombing plan today, I am going to task you for uploading the video clue again...Same time. Arata whispered authoritatively, adjusting his glasses.

I got it, I am ready. Kaori whispered calmly.

Anyways, any updates now on the MPD? Arata whispered expectantly.

The MPD is investigating the things that have happened in the Abandoned Hospital. There is still some evidence that something happened there which is true because of you guys...Kaori whispered confidently.

Seems like this will be another surprise to them later. Shinji whispered sarcastically.

That's good, we can proceed even smoothly...But, we can't still let our guards down yet. Arata whispered coldly, adjusting his glasses.

Understood! They whispered in unison.

Kaori, I'll also ask you for continuing the observation in the MPD Headquarters. Arata whispered authoritatively.

I understand, that's the only thing that I can contribute after all! Kaori whispered enthusiastically.

How about me? What should I do? Shinji whispered curiously.

Arata pulls out a phone in his pocket and gave it to Shinji.

You're on this time, for the second time... I'll be entrusting this detonator to you, you know what to do. Arata whispered authoritatively, adjusting his glasses.

Of course, once the allotted time in the video ends... I'll be pressing the red button for the bomb's detonation. Shinji whispered confidently.

Good, while me...I am going to maintain oyr facade of normalcy by showing up in my part time job. Arata said authoritatively That's the task, just the usual ones! Arata whispered authoritatively.

Understood! Shinji and Kaori whispered in unison.

I am glad that we're clear! Arata said sincerely, adjusting his glasses.

Have you notice something, Bro? Shinji asks hesitantly.

It's been a few days since the things that happened in the Abandoned Hospital...since then, Granger and Spinner stopped going to school. But, look! Spinner is here today, what could be the reason? Shinji said warily.

It's going to be alright, they're probably not going to make a move for now...But, lets stay on guard just in case! Arata whispered authoritatively, adjusting his glasses.

"I can sense that she cane here today not for strategic maneuvering like before, she didn't gave signs or implications that they're on the move against us again. I don't know, but I am sure that it will be unpleasant." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.

Suddenly the door opens and Takahiro enters the room.

Alright, get back to your damn seats! Takahiro said authoritatively.

"Izumi is back? Since Arata's return from his sudden and suspicious absence...Izumi stopped to go to school since then and also Amane. In fact, just now Amane filed her resignation letter and Izumi is reportedly going to be transferred out. So, what is she even doing here? This is suspicious." Takahiro taught to himself.

Alright, looks like some of you didn't dare to cut class or absent today! Takahiro said sarcastically.

Takahiro gave Arata, Spinner, Angeline a subtle yet piercing glance.

Alright, let's start our lecture! So, our lesson for today... Takahiro said coldly, he calmly teaches the lesson to his students.

Takahiro is constantly observing Arata, Shinji, Spinner and Angeline all while teaching his lesson calmly.

He sure has a lot of beef on the four of us... Shinji whispered playfully.

Shut up, he's clearly watching us at this very moment! He might see us, act normally! Arata whispered authoritatively.

After what feels like eternal tension, the bell finally rang indicating that his time is done.

That's the sign, we'll meet again later for the last subject! Takahiro said sarcastically.

Before leaving the room he shoots one last piercing glance into Arata and Spinner.

Takahiro left the room.

The Principal suddenly entered the room.

You all won't be having a English Subject for now. because your current English Teacher, Ms. Amane...Have officially resigned. The Principal said calmly.

Resigned?! Arata whispered clearly surprised.

"Granger resigned? Then, why is Spinner still here? What's her purpose on leaving her here today? Is she trying relay some information to me or is this a sign that they'll finally give up their attempts to claim our bounties or is this a part of her plan of some sort?" Arata taught to himself, maintaining his composed facade even if he is clearly frustrated in the inside.

Y'all can do whatever you want, as long as no one here will come running to my office while crying! The Principal said authoritatively That's all, behave with your best behavior! The Principal said delightfully.

The Principal left the room.

Suddenly, Spinner throws a crumpled paper on Arata.

What is this? Arata whispered coldly.

Arata checks the contents of the paper.

"Follow me outside -Spinner" that's what it says...Arata whispered coldly.

Arata stands up and leaves.

Hey, where the hell are you going?! Shinji said warily.

Shinji lets out a sigh of defeat.

How many do you even have to do that? Shinji said warily.

In a secluded place in Sakurazaka Highschool...

Why did you call me here? What exactly is happening in your team, Spinner? Arata asks expectantly.

You immediately sensed that something is amiss, you realky are something else! No wonder that you've managed to earn Madame Granger's respect. Spinner said enthusiastically.

Answer my question. Arata said authoritatively, adjusting his glasses.

Alright, fine! No need to be that bossy! Spinner said clearly a bit annoyed.

I am here out of Madame Granger's orders, she asked me to relay this information to you! And whatever it is, she said that you can only ask one follow up question! Spinner said enthusiastically.

So, I was right to not rule out the possibility that she left you here to relay something on me. Arata said coldly So, what is this information? Arata asks expectantly.

"He anticipated this outcome, I see. He still hasn't changed a bit since the Abandoned Hospital happenings! Madame Granger seems to be right about this one even though he is clearly our adversary." Spinner taught to herself.

Flashback, from earlier this morning...

Spinner, I have an assignment for you! Granger said authoritatively.

What do you want me to do, Madame? Spinner asks expectantly.

I want you to relay informations to Arata. Granger said authoritatively, adjusting her shades.

What do you mean? Isn't he our target? And clearly our adversary! Spinner said warily.

Are you questioning me, Spinner? Granger said intimidatingly.

I am sorry, I didn't mean it. Spinner said sincerely.

Going back to the topic! I want you to relay this informations to him, information about the Don Romano and his Mafia Family...Also, the danger that he is about to face in his hands! That's all. Granger said coldly, adjusting her shades.

Are you sure about this, Madame? Spinner said sincerely.

Of course! Granger said enthusiastically.

I am worried about this... Spinner said sincerely.

Don't worry, their actions as Harmony Duo will definitely be beneficial for us if Romano ever tries to do something...Given that they are Romano's targets. Granger said authoritatively, adjusting her shades.

Going back to the present...

I am here to say that Don Romano a certain leader of one of the well known Mafia Families in Brooklyn are coming in your tail. Spinner said coldly.

What? Arata said coldly.

"Don Romano and Mafia from the same location where Granger and her team came from? I am pretty sure that it's anither threat to Me and Shinji, A person who will do anything to claim our bounties." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.

Alright, spill it out... everything that you know. Arata said authoritatively, adjusting his glasses.

In the luxurious hotel in Kanagawa...

Skyler! Don Romano said sarcastically.

Yes, Don? Skyler asks curiously.

Tell the boys that we will commence our plan soon...Don Romano said coldly Tell them to start the preparation of the bombs that we will use! Din Romano said arrogantly.

When exactly are we going to execute the plan? Skyler asks curiously.

When the opportunity that I have been waiting for finally shows up...and I have a feeling that it will show itself to us soon enough. Don Romano said coldly.
